when the call came down the line
up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
and sometimes I get nervous
when I see an open door
close your eyes, clear your heart
cut the cord
are we human or are we dancer
my sign is vital, my hands are cold
and I'm on my knees looking for the answer
are we human or are we dancer
pay my respects to grace and virtue
send my condolences to good
give my regards to soul and romance
they always did the best they could
and so long to devotion, you taught me everything I know
wave good bye, wish me well
you gotta let me go
are we human or are we dancer
my sign is vital, my hands are cold
and I'm on my knees looking for the answer
are we human or are we dancer
will your system be alright
when you dream of home tonight
there is no message were receiving
let me know is your heart still beating
are we human or are we dancer
my sign is vital, my hands are cold
and I'm on my knees looking for the answer
you've gotta let me know
are we human or are we dancer
my sign is vital, my hands are cold
and I'm on my knees looking for the answer
are we human
or are we dancer
are we human or are we dancer
are we human or are we dancer
My brother loves this song and i didn't understand why. 'cus usually my bro isn't exactly "into" this kind of music and especially The Killers. Then i heard him say that the lyrics was good, so i went online to look for it. I came across this version in Youtube explaining each phrase and what it means... It was pretty good...
The person who posted their own interpretation said that the lyric is referring to puppets. The second line "when the call came down the line" referees to the fact that puppets "dance" according to the strings which controls them. The link I posted links to the Youtube video which provides the explanation through the person's point of view.
In that interpretation of the lyric is trying to say that this "generation" of people are afraid to have individuality because they might not be able to fit in the social circle. Thus people follow the "string" in hope to be accepted. I found this to be, sadly, very true. People from my parents' generation allows everyone to have their own "soul", but nowadays people have to change to fit into society. Thus the many "faces" or different personality they present around different people. However, as I write this, I find it hard to imagine showing my true personality in society. I truly wonder, what happened to our world?
